Delta One
Delta One Completes Sea Trials
THE NETHERLANDS, Scheveningen. Delta One, the largest superyacht to
come from Mulder Shipyard to date, has completed sea trials in
Scheveningen following a successful launch. The flagship 36m is the first
of the shipyard’s ThirtySix range designed by British studio Claydon
Reeves, with the construction of the second hull well underway.“It’s been a pleasure to team up with Mulder Shipyard once again for the
build of Delta One,” explains Claydon Reeves partner James Claydon.
“This 36m is another example of a design that delivers a fully optimised
interior with accommodation that is greater than you’d expect for her
size. Mulder did a great job on Solis, which resulted in her winning a world superyacht award. We are truly delighted by the results on Delta
One.”
Her interior design by Claydon Reeves in conjunction with Vickers Studio
offers generous space for 10 guests across five staterooms. The full
beam design allows the volume and privacy in the owners’ area to be
maximised. The exceptional features of the full beam master suite are
heightened by dedicated access to a private seating area in the bow.
An impressive salon, dining room and bar area are located on the main
deck, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views while
flooding the interior with natural light. The dining experience is enhanced
by the addition of a folding side balcony, which will bring seascape
panoramas right to the table.
Additional entertainment is found outside the salon, where the large
outdoor cockpit area provides plenty of shaded al fresco seating and
dining options. Beneath the aft deck is a full headroom beach club with
bar and bathroom facilities — another unexpected feature of a yacht this
size.
Crowning the vessel, the sundeck offers generous seating, sun pads, a
whirlpool Jacuzzi with space for eight and a comfy dining place — the
perfect backdrop for relaxing, sunbathing and socialising. A second helm
station is also found here.
“Working directly with the shipyard, naval architects and owner has
resulted in a design that more than meets the expectations of all
involved,” reveals Claydon Reeves partner Mike Reeves. “From the refined profile to the highly personalised interior, Claydon Reeves has
pushed to redefine what can be achieved in a vessel under 300GRT.”
Built to RINA MCA LY3, Delta One is a fast displacement motoryacht with
a transatlantic range. With her FDHF hull shape and naval architecture by
Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Mulder Shipyard has confirmed how the
all aluminium vessel performed well in the North Sea with up to wind
force six. Twin Caterpillar C18 engines producing 857kW each ensured a
top speed of 16.8 knots, while achieving a cruising speed of 15 knots
with an engine load of 67 per cent.
Delta One also includes a Williams 625 Dieseljet, two Yamaha GP1800
Jetski’s, Seabobs and extensive windsurf-gear. The new flagship can be
seen at the Monaco Yacht Show with Mulder Shipyard from 27-30
September.
